Spike's Peak  (1984 - HesWare)
Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

Spike's Peak is an action game where you need to climb to the top of a mountain! Gameplay takes place on five different screens. The first screen shows you approaching the mountain; you begin here each time you start a game or lose a life. All you need to do is walk up the path to begin the stage you've reached so far. Flags by the path indicate how many lives you have left. The next screen is a zig zag path through meadows at the base of the mountain. Beware of the deadly bears and eagles here! Along the path are several caves which you can hide in when a bear or eagle appears (you can also jump over bears). The caves are cold, however, and you have a limited amount of time to hide before freezing to death. Make it to the top of the path, and you begin the next screen. Here you climb up a rocky ledge. Boulders and falling pieces of rock constantly appear and can knock you back down the screen. Next is the icy cap of the mountain. Climb up to the top without being knocked down by avalanches or getting caught by the abominable snowman. The last screen takes place at the mountain summit where you need to climb to the top and plant a flag before freezing! Complete all of these screens and you win the game. There are four different difficulty levels available.

Description from the packaging:


Spike's Peak by Larry Holland
You are Spike, climbing a mountain against time and the elements. Choose the safer route by path, or be daring and climb the cliff instead. But such a decision will change your speed and your technique.
Completing five different scrolling screens will take you to the top of the mountain, but beware of diving eagles, hungry bears, big horn sheep, and abominable snowmen that hide in the darkened caves. You must also watch for rock slides and slippery ice caps- they may send you sliding into poisonous mountain cactuses or raging streams. Blizzards move in quickly at the higher elevations- you'll have to hurry before you freeze.
So, grab your pitons and climbing rope and summon all the courage you can find- you're going to need it to survive.
